Amid the opulence of Belle Époque France, a trial took place that threatened to unravel the very meaning of human legal justice. Michel Eyraud and Gabrielle Bompard, two French citizens living their lives quietly in Paris were launched into the spotlight following the discovery of a decomposing corpse, the reconstruction of a destroyed wooden trunk and an international manhunt. Whilst their names eventually disappeared into obscurity, the crime they were involved in left an indelible mark of legal history, as the first case using hypnosis as defence for murder, offering the jury the unique opportunity to not only decide the fate of the convicted, but to reshape the legal definition of free will in a courtroom forever.

A good explanation of hypnosis. In the present time, most hypnotists believe that you can't make a person do something against their morals. The trouble is that she might not have had a moral against killing, so it wasn't too hard, if he HAD tried it. But I don't believe it either. I think she and her lawyer were just trying anything to get her out of it. And it worked, in a way.

I fully agree with your take on this. I worked with a hypnotist to help with test taking anxiety in college. You are right. My hypnotist explained how it worked and made it abundantly clear that hypnotists cannot make anybody do or say anything. The subject is in control, not the hypnotist. The subject also remembers everything in the session -- well I always did. You don't snap out of it saying where am I like in 60s TV. Hypnosis helped me control my anxiety and I have used it in other stress situations. It's a great tool. This would not have been known when this incident took place, so it was worth a try on the lawyer's part.

Your analysis is a bit contradictory. First you say she was a victim of an abusive and controlling relationship, then say she's a cold and calculating murderer. As a defense, it can't be both.
